Funnies

From Joke of the Day

A new manager spends a week at his new office with
the manager he is replacing. On the last day the
departing manager tells him, "I have left three
numbered envelopes in the desk drawer. Open an
envelope if you encounter a crisis you can't solve."

Three months down the track there is a major drama,
everything goes wrong - the usual stuff - and the
manager feels very threatened by it all. He remembers
the parting words of his predecessor and opens the
first envelope. The message inside says "Blame your
predecessor!" He does this and gets off the hook.

About half a year later, the company is experiencing
a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems.
The manager quickly opens the second envelope. The
message read, "Reorganize!" This he does, and the
company quickly rebounds.

Three months later, at his next crisis, he opens the
third envelope. The message inside says "Prepare three
envelopes."

A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner
points to three identical looking parrots on a perch and says,
"the parrot on the left costs 500 dollars."

"Why does the parrot cost so much," asks the man.

The shop owner says, "well, the parrot knows how to
use a computer."

The man then asks about the next parrot to be told that
this one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything
the other parrot can do plus it knows how to use the UNIX
operating system.

Naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the
third parrot to be told that it costs 2,000 dollars.
Needless to say this begs the question, "What can it do?"

To which the shop owner replies, "to be honest I have
never seen it do a thing, but they refer to him as 'boss'!"
